Make Yarmouth insurance more affordable with these expert tips
Here at BrokerLink, we believe that insurance should be as affordable as possible. That is why we strive to make it so by comparing policies to find only the most competitive rates for our customers. We can also unlock discounts for you and inform you of the different types of discounts you may be eligible for. To help get you started, we have put together a list of tips that can save you money on nearly any kind of Yarmouth insurance policy:
Consult with a Yarmouth insurance broker
Consulting with a Yarmouth insurance broker is a great first step if you’re looking to cut insurance costs. Why? Insurance Brokers know the local insurance industry like the back of their hands. Therefore, they know exactly where to go if you’re looking for insurance on a budget. They know which insurance companies offer the best prices and discounts so that you can find an inexpensive policy that doesn’t compromise on quality. Get started today by contacting a BrokerLink insurance advisor, discussing your coverage needs and budget with them, and then letting them work their magic.
Bundle insurance products from one provider
Want to buy more than one insurance product? Doing so could save you a serious amount of money. For example, if you bundle home and car insurance in Yarmouth, your insurer is likely to give you a significant discount on each policy. Oftentimes, many different types of insurance products are eligible for bundles, including car insurance, home insurance, and commercial insurance. You also have the option of purchasing two for the same type of insurance, like two auto insurance plans.
Select high deductibles for your Yarmouth insurance policy
No matter what type of insurance you are shopping for in Yarmouth, before you finalize your policy, you will need to select deductibles. Selecting deductibles should not be done quickly, especially when you consider the impact that the deductibles you chose will have on you. Policy deductibles are one of the biggest factors in determining how much you pay for Yarmouth insurance. If you select a higher deductible, your premium will be lower because you are taking on more financial responsibility in the event of a claim. However, if you select a lower deductible, you are giving the insurance company more financial responsibility, and as such, your premium will be higher. Thus, we strongly recommend reviewing the premiums and their differences before determining your deductibles.
Be smart about home and vehicle purchases
Just as deductibles influence Yarmouth insurance rates, so can the house you buy and the car you drive. Specifically, the home you live in will influence your home insurance premium and the make, model, and year of the vehicle you drive will influence your car insurance premium. Understanding which home and vehicle-related factors come into play can help you make a smart purchase that will ensure you avoid paying more for insurance. For example, homes that are located near emergency services, like a fire hydrant or fire station, do not have swimming pools or trampolines on the premises, have energy-efficient features, have new roofs, and feature modern plumbing, electrical, and heating systems typically benefit from cheaper rates. Similarly, cars that are hybrid or electric, have high safety and reliability ratings, and have low rates of theft will also benefit from cheaper insurance premiums. It can be a good idea to get a quote before signing on the dotted line for a home or vehicle, so there are no unexpected surprises down the road.
How Yarmouth insurance rates are calculated
Understanding how Yarmouth insurance rates are calculated can be tricky, especially when you consider that each insurance company has its own unique rating system and that insurance companies consider different factors for each type of insurance. That said, gaining insight into the factors that generally come into play when your insurance rates are being calculated can be useful. That is why the BrokerLink team has put together the following list of details that most insurance companies will consider when they are assessing your risk level and setting your premium. Please note that not every factor below will matter for every type of insurance. Some factors are specific to car insurance while others are specific to home insurance:
- Your personal insurance claims history
- The coverages, limits, and deductibles you select for your policy
- Age
- Driving record
- Annual mileage
- Local laws
- Your home address
- Whether you use your car for business or personal reasons or both
- The make, model, and year of the vehicle you drive
- The size of your home
- The condition of your home’s roof
- The type and condition of your home’s electrical system
- The type and condition of your home’s plumbing system
- The type and condition of your home’s heating system
- The size and location of your business
- The age of your business
- The annual and projected gross revenue of your business
- The number of employees at your business
- Whether your business operates online, in-store, or both

Yarmouth insurance broker FAQs
Do motorists need to purchase car insurance in Yarmouth?
Yes, all motorists in Nova Scotia must purchase car insurance if they want to legally drive. Otherwise, you would be driving illegally, since auto insurance is government mandated in the province. If you made the unwise decision to drive without insurance, you could be fined tens of thousands of dollars, have your vehicle impounded, and face a temporary driver’s licence suspension. Thus, it is imperative that you purchase the right auto insurance coverage before hitting the road. In Nova Scotia, the law requires all drivers to have car insurance policies with the following four types of coverage: third party liability coverage, uninsured automobile coverage, accident benefits coverage, and direct compensation - property damage coverage. Note that if your car is leased or financed, comprehensive and collision coverage may be required in addition to the four mandatory coverage tips listed previously.
Do homeowners need to purchase home insurance in Yarmouth?
In some scenarios, homeowners do not need to purchase home insurance in Yarmouth, but in others, they do. Specifically, if you bought your home through a mortgage loan, then the odds are high that your mortgage lender requires you to have a valid home insurance policy until your loan is paid off. You can confirm this by reviewing the terms of your loan contract. Typically, mortgage borrowers are obligated to purchase a basic form of home insurance that contains dwelling coverage, contents coverage, and personal liability coverage. However, if you bought your home with cash or already paid off your mortgage loan, then you likely have no obligation to purchase home insurance. That said, many Yarmouth homeowners still choose to do so due to the benefits it offers. Further, if you are not a homeowner but a renter in Yarmouth, you may also need to purchase a form of home insurance known as tenant or renters insurance.
Tenant insurance in Yarmouth is required by many landlords, so be sure to read the terms of your lease agreement carefully. Your lease agreement may not only stipulate that you need to have a valid tenant insurance policy for the duration of your lease but also that you must have specific types of coverage or coverage limits. If you want to avoid being in breach of your contractual obligations, make sure that you purchase any necessary forms of home insurance coverage.
What insurance discounts are available to me in Yarmouth?
Insurance discounts are one of the most effective ways of saving money on Yarmouth insurance policies. However, you need to know that discounts are available to you if you want to take advantage of them. While not all customers will qualify for the following discounts, here is a list of some of the most popular types of insurance discounts out there today: bundling discounts, alumni discounts, mortgage free discounts, employment discounts, alarm system discounts, winter tire discounts, telematics discounts, occasional driver discounts, sump pump discounts, sewer backup detection device discounts, anti-theft device discounts, and more.
How does liability insurance coverage work?
Liability coverage works by protecting policyholders against the expensive reality of legal claims. Depending on the type of liability coverage, it can protect you if someone brings a third party claim against you. For example, if a house guest slips and falls on the icy walkway leading to your front door, they could sue you for bodily injury. Thankfully, if your Yarmouth home insurance policy contained liability coverage, your insurer would step in and help cover the cost of the lawsuit, as well as any medical fees. The most common type of liability coverage for home insurance is personal liability insurance. For car insurance, it is third party liability insurance, and it is a mandatory component of all Nova Scotia insurance policies. Finally, for commercial insurance, you will find a wide variety of liability coverage, ranging from cyber liability and product liability to employment liability and commercial general liability.
What types of insurance coverage can a Yarmouth insurance broker help me find?
Think of insurance brokers as experts in all things insurance. As such, a Yarmouth insurance broker can help you find almost any type of policy you’re looking for. For example, an insurance broker in Yarmouth may be able to assist you with car insurance, home insurance, business insurance, pet insurance, condo insurance, tenant insurance, boat insurance, motorcycle insurance, and more. Contact an insurance broker near you to ask about their specialties and the services they provide.
Can I get a free quote from a Yarmouth insurance broker?
Yes, you can obtain an insurance quote free of charge from an insurance broker in Yarmouth. All you have to do is contact your local insurance broker and ask. Most of the time, insurance brokers are pleased to offer complimentary estimates to customers. These can be obtained over the phone, in person, or online via the insurance broker’s website.
What is all perils insurance?
All perils insurance, also known as an all risk policy, refers to a type of insurance coverage that protects policyholders against the widest possible range of risks. While all perils insurance does not cover everything - as no type of insurance coverage does - it covers more than basic insurance, and therefore can provide Yarmouth customers with greater peace of mind. It’s important to note that all perils insurance coverage may be available on multiple types of insurance products, including car insurance, home insurance, and business insurance. The perils included in all perils coverage may vary between insurance providers, but you can generally expect your all perils coverage to offer protection against the following perils: fire, theft, vandalism, falling objects, wind, hail, freezing, water damage, weight of ice, snow, or sleet, and damage from electrical currents. Most all perils insurance policies exclude certain high-risk incidents, like nuclear disasters, large-scale natural disasters like tsunamis, floods, and earthquakes, acts of war and terrorism, and intentional or fraudulent losses.
How can I get in touch with an insurance broker in Yarmouth?
There are several ways that customers can contact insurance brokers in Yarmouth. Nowadays, you have three main options: Calling your local insurance broker’s office, visiting it in person, or reaching out online, either via email or the website’s contact page.
